Rambling with Lucy I
BY LUCY R. WOODS
Carl was about to make some corned beef.
"Why is it called corned beef'?" he asked. Lucy didn't know. It
was ,one of the meat dishes which was special when she was a child.
Her rathet)Veghia,p(eee'er,,e,f,beef':brisket, and mother put' it in the
brine for i:70ertain lengtit'of 'time. When it was taken out,she boiled
it, slowly and then pressed it in a 5-pound crock. There was no fat so
sweet and tasty as on that meat, and — at least to Lucy — it was tops
as cold meat for a supper dish.
It could also be served hot. How many recall and enjoyed the
comics "Jiggs and Maggie (McManus)? Jiggs had an insatiable
appetite for corn beef and cabbage at dinner, while his social climber
wife Maggie was much annoyed at such a plebeian taste.
In response to Carl's question Lucy ventured the opinion that it
was probably an Old Country method and perhaps had something to
do with Cornwall in England, but she was wrong.
While she was having her siesta, her spouse looked it up in
dictionaries and an old encyclopedia.
Corn or corned beef dates back to A.D. 1565. It was merely
salted beef buried in grain to cure.
When we mention 'corn' on this continent we naturally think of
what is really Indian maize, But corn covers barley, wheat and oats
in various overseas countries. In Scotland it means oats, and in
England wheat.
Going back to Old Testament times, when there was a famine in
the land of Canaan, Jacob — or Israel as he was named by God —
sent 10 of his sons to Egypt to buy corn. In all probability it was
wheat.
We also hear of pepper corns and corns of gunpowder.
"Corn — A. Saxon. A word found throughout the Teutonic
language of the same root as L, granum, a seed." Annandale.
"A collective term for all seeds used in making bread. The
principal seeds of this kind in a temperate climate are wheat, rye,
oats and barley.
A ,grain of corn, a single seed of grasses used as food for man or
animal (3 barley-corns make an inch)." Zells Encyclopedia.
"Corn — verb to form into, grains as gunpowder." Oxford
Universal.
Thus in early days Corn and grain became intermingled in the
English language. And while salt is measured in grains today, a piece
of meat was perhaps rubbed with corns or grains of salt to preserve it
in early days.
A definition of, corned beef in 1875 in America is: "Preserved or
moderately salted beef kept in a closed tub."
And yet Carl remembers that, salted pork was sometimes buried in
bins of grain when he was a small boy. He did not remember salted
beef.
When Lucy first mentioned corned beef, it was Mrs. N. B.
Nickerson, Clinton, who supplied the recipe: 1 gallon water, l' lbs.
salt, 1/2 lb. brown sugar, 1/2. oz. salt petre, Boil all together in an iron
kettle, skim and strain. Put into pickle tub or crock, and when cold
put in meat, having the pickle cover it, weighting it down with a
plate, stoned on top. Leave in plate 12-21 days. Simmer at very low
heat for four hours.
Another old recipe which someone gave Carl varies only by
adding 1/2 oz. baking soda in making the fluid and then boiling the
meatin it for one, minute before putting into the crock, cooling the
fluid rapidly before pouring it Over the meat. This one requires a
Wooden cover weighted down with stones,
